After Len told him everything, the burden he'd been carrying on his shoulders was finally lifted... but is the pain really over?

Kagamine Len stood facing the front of a tall house. His knees weakened at the sight of it. The white walls standing proud looked especially clean, with it's large rectangular windows gleaming in the sunlight. Sitting on top of those walls, was a blue tiled roof which gave the house a calm atmosphere. A beautiful garden rested in between the street and the house. Overall due to the size of the house one might say it was more of a mansion than a normal house. Carefully trimmed hedges and flowers which were obviously well cared for suggested the owner loved his beautiful garden. The smell of morning dew and leaves. A nostalgic feeling hung in the air. It was here, in this exact spot where he was standing that every time he stood here all the feelings came crawling back to him. Feelings of regret, hurt, joy and most of all love. It wasn't the first time he'd found himself staring and standing at the foot of this house.

Len felt the cold chill that went up his spine whenever he wandered near this house. He would always stop by here whenever he could get the chance. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't go through a day without staring at the large house. Something called him. Something pulled him to this place. A strong attraction of some sort. As much as he wanted to run away... there was something deep inside him, something that made him keep wishing and hoping. He told himself time and time again to give up. After all there was no reason why he would even have a chance. What kept him going? He wondered about this all the time but he never seemed to figure out the answer. Just as he was about to step on to the porch something caught his attention.

"What are you doing here Len? I know you come here a lot but aren't you supposed to head to the studio? You're running late." A hand perched itself on Len's shoulder. Making it shudder.

"A-ah Miku, I w-was actually on my way there!". He said, already making a run for it, almost tripping as he made his way down the street. He was so close to ringing the doorbell of that house. Luckily Miku appeared and snapped him out of it. Len felt so relieved because if she hadn't stopped him he wouldn't know what he would do. Thoughts of worry and panic raised in his head. He had to get out of there. Passing Miku, he could hear her snicker under her breath and he began thinking of thousands of possibilities of what Miku was thinking. Everybody including her thought he had a huge crush on Miku. This didn't really bother Len that much though. It was one of the things that would distract people from what he really felt about someone else.

He waited until he placed some distance between himself and her then he turned on his heel and looked back at the tall house. Miku was already at the doorway ringing the doorbell. Len froze, he wanted to start running again but his legs just stayed, glued to their place. Only when the door opened wide and he saw him, did he turn around and resumed running.

The Crypton Future Media studio was the largest building of its street that it would be impossible to miss. Len, who was panting, went through the big doors and carefully made his way to the recording room. He ran around ten minutes from the house to here. If he walked it would've taken him at least half an hour. It's a wonder what panic does to a person. Even though it was good he arrived at the studio earlier than he expected it gave him a headache. His heart was beating faster than the normal rate. He dragged his feet, staggering while trying to clear his head. As he neared his destination it was as if he was oblivious to everything and everyone around him. Good mornings and hellos where ignored as his thoughts attacked his brain. "Why Miku and not me". He bent his head down as he entered the room, still lost in his own thoughts.

"Hey! If you're gonna leave me behind at least have the courtesy to show up on time! Oh and by the way here's your breakfast!". Without missing a beat a banana was thrown at Len's face snapping him back to the real world. "So anyways where the heck have you been huh? You out stalking Miku again?" Rin, Len's twin sister, said while picking up the banana on the floor which Len had failed to catch.

"Oh hey sis. Umm just went out for walk thats all". He said trying to act casual while getting the banana from his sister. Adding to the effect of "acting casual" he peeled the banana and munched on it hoping to avoid suspicion. He forgot to wake up his always energetic sister this morning. No matter how eager Rin was to do anything she just can't seem to wake up on time. Len unintentionally left her but he thought it was better she didn't know where he was. It was then he realized how much time he really spent there, since it was already close to noon.

Although Rin was clearly not convinced she let it go and decided to drag her little brother near the middle of the room where the microphones and instruments were set up. "Well enough with the excuses we need to finish recording! Did you remember to memorize our song? I call the first verse!". She said, hyper as ever while standing next to the microphone and Len strapping on his keytar.

"Yes of course". Len said as they started playing the intro. In fact how can he not memorize it? This song is what he's been thinking about for the past few weeks. He couldn't get it out of his mind. It was like watching a commercial with a lame song on it and having to put up with it playing in your head over and over. After days and days of practicing this song he referred to his last song syndrome as "mind poison". He can't do anything about it though... after a few more notes, Rin will soon start singing those lines.

kahosoi hi ga, kokoro no hashi ni tomoru
itsu no manika moe hirogaru netsujou
watashi no chou, fukisoku ni tobi mawari
anata no te ni rinpun wo tsuketa

A soft touch of desire, Puts my painful heart on fire
Drowning in your warmth and beauty everyone admires
My small and sparkling butterfly, Flutters under your eyes
Sprinkling your slender fingers with ecstatic sighs

Thinking deeply on what the lyrics meant, Len almost forgot to sing the next lines, the lines that would be sung together with his twin. After a glare from Rin, he recovered and tried to focus. Up to a good start he thought. They were near the half of the song and he was still in control of himself. He was feeling okay... until they reached the chorus.

Len felt weak. His hands pressing on the keys shivered and his arms were heavy. A feeling of extreme misery filled him. This song meant so much more to Len than just a song he had to sing. It was one of those songs that conveyed your emotions and moved you to a point where you would break like a fragile mirror. He thought he could take it but it seems he was much more of a mess than he first thought. He looked away from his twin. As they began singing the chorus, his eyes teared up, thinking of that one person he really should be singing this to.

dakiyosete hoshii, tashikamete hoshii
machigai nado nain da to, omowasete
kisu wo shite, nurikaete hoshii
miwaku no toki ni yoishire oborete itai no

Now if you'd try and hold me tight, And tell me every thing's alright
Please would you lie to me, Smile and say you'd stay for the night
Brush your lips on mine, Ignore the tears that make me blind
Intoxicate me now, Melt it with your breath, The last of my sane mind

Len went like this up until the last note of the song. It was a wonder that Rin didn't notice it. But of course, she was too busy admiring her own voice that she did not see her twin crying through out the duration of their song. "If only we were like magnets" Len thought as he blinked away the tears.

Len wondered what if he had the courage to go on and ring the bell to Kaito's door. Would he be able to tell him everything? Would he just stare at him, completely mesmerized and star struck? No one knows. The only sure thing is eventually... Kaito will find out.
